I'm so confused, and idk what to say. =(
Oh, and btw, I kinda liked it when you talked dirty to me ;D ...I think. Gertrude 5:25 PM: OH. MY. GOSH! Look what u did!
You caused Ophelia's death and if i were u, I would run far far away to a place like Canada where Laertes will NEVER find ya! Ophelia wrote at 10:06P.M. : Baby, why couldn't you tell me you loved me when I was still alive? Pssh. Men. Well, since you're dead too, join me in the afterlife? :3
The Ghost posted a comment at 12:45 AM: So, just wondering when you were going to get around to killing your uncle. I thought i would give you time since you would actually be killing someone, but you had no issue killing Polonius so yeah...im gonna need you to get on that. otay ! ; ) Rosencrantz and Gertrude at 11:41 PM: We like how we got three posts from you in like 4 hours after not hearing from our dear friend for so long. Real nice. Some friend. Gertrude 4:16PM: that is so nooooooot fair! that poisoinus cup was meant for u!!!!! curse my thirstiness! Polonius wrote at 6:44 pm:
Even though I slightly hate you for killing me,
I now understand your intentions were true. To bad we
found this all out after everyone died. Party in the after life perhaps?!
Profile: I am the son of the late King
Hamlet of Denmark and Queen
Gertrude. I attended the university in
Wittenberg and loved it there. Two
months ago, a horrible incident in my
life took place. My dad, the
late King Hamlet (God bless his soul),
passed away. He will always remain
in my heart. I love you dad. R.I.P<3
My step-father, King Claudius, and my
mom do not want me to return to the
university (as I was planning on
doing). So, I spend the days thinking
about my beloved father. Oh, and how
can I forget her. She is the one who
makes me smile. She is the light to
my day. I love her and my day is
complete whenever I see her.<3
So, all in all, I am a pretty decent
guy. Oh and did I mention that I'm the
Prince of Denmark?
Character Bio:
Everyone around me has a suspicion that I am crazy. Yes, I may be crazy at times. But that may just be a result of my father's sudden
death and my mother's sudden marraige.
What everyone does not know is how sane I can be when I want to be...
"To be, or not to be? That is the question—Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to sufferThe slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,Or to take arms against a sea of troublesAnd, by opposing, end them. To die, to sleep—No more—and by a sleep to say we endThe heartache and the thousand natural shocksThat flesh is heir to—’tis a consummationDevoutly to be wished. To die, to sleep--To sleep, perchance to dream—ay, there’s the rub,For in that sleep of death what dreams may comeWhen we have shuffled off this mortal coil,Must give us pause" (127).
Location:
The Royal Palace
Elsinore, Denmark
Employer & Education:
~Prince of Denmark
~Former student of the University in Wittenberg.
~Hamlet would be friends with Laertes because Laertes is Ophelia's brother. He would want Laertes to know that he does not keep any secrets and that it is okay for him (Laertes) to look at his Facebook profile. This may, in return, build Laertes' trust on Hamlet.
The Ghost
external image magnetism_hamlet_ghost_450.jpg
~Hamlet would be friends with the Ghost because the Ghost is his father! He loves and misses his father a lot. There is no doubt he would be friends with his death father. Facebook is one of the very few ways through which he can keep in touch with the Ghost (his father).
Polonius
po.jpg
~Hamlet would be friends with Polonius because of the same reason as Laertes. The only difference is that Polonius is Ophelia's father. Hamlet doesn't want to look "mean" by not adding Ophelia's family members on Facebook.
Gertrude
untitled.JPG
~Hamlet would be friends with Gertrude because Gertrude is his mother. He can communicate with her through Facebook as well as at home.
~Hamlet would be friends with Ophelia because she is Hamlet's love interest. Also, being each other's friends on Facebook also allows them to talk and communicate (which they are not allowed to do physically).
~Even though Hamlet resents Claudius deep inside (because as far as he knows, Claudius killed his father and married his mother), he would still be friends with him on Facebook because of if he wasn't, then people would question him. It would ruin his reputation and people would say that the Royal family is not a happy family.
~Hamlet would be friends with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern because they were childhood friends.
~Hamlet would be friends with Sir Lord Macbeth because Sir Lord Macbeth is part of the court. And Hamlet, being the Prince, needs to be "friends" with everyone in the court/the officials.
~Hamlet would be friends with Ebenezer Scrooge from "A Christmas Carol" because just like Scrooge, Hamlet meets a ghost. Both are able to see and talk to ghosts, and thus, can share their experiences.
~Hamlet would be friends with Ender because like Ender, he was given a huge task to accomplish. While Ender had to prepare to fight the next bugger, Hamlet had to prepare himself to commit a crime, to kill.
~Hamlet would be friends with Macbeth because right now Hamlet is going through a strange, tough, and confusing time in his life where he has to make a big decision (just like Macbeth had to do when he had to make the decision of killing King Duncan).
~Hamlet would be friends with Michael Harding because, just like Hamlet, Michael also had to adjust and had to like his stepfather. Both of them can definitely share their ideas and thoughts on how stepfathers are, etc.
Notes--one for each Act
ACT I:
Oh, how I miss you my beloved father! It has been two months…yet it seems as if you left me just yesterday. King Claudius and my mother want me to move on in life. They want me to take off these black clothes I wear in the mourning of your death. But no matter how hard I try, I cannot stop thinking about you. It surprises me how quickly mother married my stepfather! The love you gave her, the protection you provided her with…all forgotten! How could she do such a thing? She says, “Thou know’st ’tis common; all that lives must die/Passing through nature to eternity.” Yes, this is true. But I think mother is taking it too lightly. Now the King and my mother even forbid me from going to the university in Wittenberg! They party tonight and have a feast. They drink while I mourn for your death here. And now, the good Horatio and Marcellus tell me of your ghost! You cannot even imagine the shock and anxiousness I felt when I first heard about your ghost. But you come with a purpose. Your soul is not resting in peace because you want me to take revenge…the revenge of your death. King Claudius, be prepared for your doom! You killed my angel-like father. And I remember my father’s words to me: “…adieu, adieu, remember me.” I swore to my father and I will remember my vow till death comes upon me. You will rest in peace father, I promise! And Claudius, you will see the worst of me…very soon!
“Hold, hold, my heart,/And you, my
sinews, grow not instant old,/But
bear me (stiffly) up” (61).
ACT II:
Oh, what a day! Met an old fool (who I thought was a fishmonger, but apparently he was not), reunited with my two best pals, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, met the crew of a play I am suppose to see tomorrow, and made a very important decision. Oh, what a day, I say again! Oh, and did I mention my foolishness with Ophelia? I do not know what was wrong with me! I was not in my senses when I rushed into her room (without thinking, let me mention again), held her wrist, and stared at her for a long time. However, I must also add that I was not completely out of my senses. I had the sense to know that I did this terrible act out of anger. Ophelia, who I love oh so much, cannot see me anymore? And what’s even more surprising is that she agreed to her family’s orders! Does this mean she doesn’t love me? Does this mean that her love for me is not true? But now that I think about it (out of my anger), I understand her point of view too. She is probably scared. Yes, she is probably scared of her family, of her father, of her brother. If she doesn’t obey their orders, her family may punish her…or punish me! Nevertheless, whatever it is, I should not have acted with such insolent manner.
Oh and it cracks me up when I think about people and how they think I am crazy! My mother and the King send my two, very dear childhood friends (Rosencrantz and Guildenstern) to see what is wrong with me! I could tell, however. My cleverness could tell that my dear friends were sent; they did not just come by themselves.
Anyways, whatever the case maybe, I must rest for tomorrow. Tomorrow is a big day. Tomorrow is the day I find out whether the ghost of my father is a friend or a foe! Tomorrow is the day I find out whether King Claudius is guilty of my father’s murder or not! Oh, it surprises me how I have pressed my emotions inside of me. If it were anyone else, they would have exploded! But I must keep my composure. I must not let myself be unreasonable. I must make the right decisions…especially in this critical time… I need to focus…I need to focus…
“I am but mad north-north-west. When the wind is southerly, I know a hawk from a handsaw” (107).
ACT III: Oh, how exhausted I am! How long this day has been! Never-ending! But now, night has fallen, which means I can look back at the occurrences of the whole day and reflect upon them. Let’s see, where to start? Ah, yes!: my meeting with Ophelia. That little devil! I was right! She should spend the rest of her life in a nunnery. Her love for me is not true. Oh, how devastated I am! I thought she loved me; but like I said before to Ophelia, all women are the same! I can compare her to my own mother. Both do not value love. My mother, who my father loved so dearly, forgot him and married his own brother! How sad! And look at Ophelia! She gives me back the letters I wrote to her with so much passion and love. She insulted my love!
Oh and another thing! The most important one! The monster Claudius is the murderer of my father! Yes! I was right. The ghost is not a devil afterlife. It is the ghost of my own precious father. Oh the strange, guilty look in his eyes when he watched the king die in “The Mousetrap!” I knew it! Alas! I find out for sure who killed my father!
Revenge bubbled in me like boiling water! I went to my uncle’s room before going to my mother’s, and saw him kneeling, praying. No, there was no way I could’ve killed him! It would’ve gone to heaven! I cannot let that happen. Claudius needs to die while doing a sin.
Oh and another significant task was completed today! Just as I had planned, I used my words as dagger when I talked to my mother. She now feels the hatred I feel for her. She now knows what she did wrong.
Speaking of wrong, I did something terribly bad today. Thinking it was Claudius behind the tapestry, I killed an innocent politician. But I guess his death was written by my hands. But now I shall worry about the task that the ghost reminded me of today and set everything else aside. It doesn’t matter to me that everyone around me thinks I am mad. They think sending me on a business trip to England will help. Well, let them have peace for a while…soon enough, however, I will take their peace away from them!
“To be, or not to be? That is the question—
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
And, by opposing, end them…” (127).
ACT IV:
At last, I find out who my true friends and enemies are! Rosencrantz and Guildenstern (my childhood friends) are now my enemies. They work with the King and the Queen and spy on the person they consider their “friend.” They come and ask me where I hid the dead body…as if they thought I would tell them. And if they did in fact think that, then they are extremely stupid. I try to play around with my words when I talk to them so I can make them lose their train of thought. Ha! And they thought I was the crazy, insane one! How ironic!
Anyways, the King and my mother sent me to England immediately after I killed the politician. When I started my journey, I met Fortinbras’ army’s Captain and he told me how there were two thousand soldiers about to fight for a worthless piece of land. Two thousand souls! Ridiculous! This made me realize how much of a coward I was up until now. Here in front of me, there are two thousand soldiers fighting for something worthless; and here I am, just one person, not even being able to perform one task that has the highest value possible: revenge! From then on, I decided to think of blood. I decided that if I didn’t get bloody thoughts, my revenge would never be accomplished. And now, here I am, on this pirate ship. I still managed to send letters to Horatio and the people who I call “family” back in Denmark. I intend on going back to Denmark with a clever idea in my mind. However, I still have to sort my thoughts out. I know what I want, but I don’t quite know how to achieve it yet. The first step, however, right now, is to return to Denmark, which I will be doing very soon. “O, from this time forth My thoughts be bloody or be nothing worth” (205)!
ACT V: So, we are all dead? Oh, how wonderful! Didn’t really see that one coming!
Oh, how fate plays with our lives! We all had great plans set up for each other, but it’s amazing how we all ended up in the same spot! I really think, however, that if I had acted earlier, I would’ve definitely been successful in killing Claudius, gaining my crown, and becoming the King. I wasted a lot of time…a lot. Is this the flaw in my character? In me as a person? Or is it that I was mentally ill? No, I think all this happened because I was very late in acting. I didn't act at the right time. If it wasn’t for me, my fair Ophelia wouldn’t have died! The grief she suffered from her father’s dead (just like I didn’t from my father’s death) made her insane. I also don’t blame Laertes for being angry with me. He has every right to do so. But I know that deep down inside, he was a great person. As far as mother is concerned, no matter how heartless of a woman she was, she was still my mother. I was so angry when I saw her dying. And when Laertes told me that the evil Claudius is behind all of this, I was infuriated! Claudius deserved to be killed. So did Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. They betrayed a friendship. However, all the rest of the deaths were unnecessary.
“If thou didst ever hold me in thy heart,
Absent thee from felicity a while
And in this harsh world draw thy breath in pain
To tell my story” (283).

When I started my journey, I met Fortinbras’ army’s Captain and he told me how there were two thousand soldiers about to fight for a worthless piece of land. Two thousand souls! Ridiculous! This made me realize how much of a coward I was up until now. Here in front of me, there are two thousand soldiers fighting for something worthless; and here I am, just one person, not even being able to perform one task that has the highest value possible: revenge! From then on, I decided to think of blood. I decided that if I didn’t get bloody thoughts, my revenge would never be accomplished.
And now, here I am, on this pirate ship. I still managed to send letters to Horatio and the people who I call “family” back in Denmark. I intend on going back to Denmark with a clever idea in my mind. However, I still have to sort my thoughts out. I know what I want, but I don’t quite know how to achieve it yet. The first step, however, right now, is to return to Denmark, which I will be doing very soon.
“O, from this time forth
My thoughts be bloody or be nothing worth” (205)!
ACT V:
So, we are all dead? Oh, how wonderful! Didn’t really see that one coming!
Oh, how fate plays with our lives! We all had great plans set up for each other, but it’s amazing how we all ended up in the same spot! I really think, however, that if I had acted earlier, I would’ve definitely been successful in killing Claudius, gaining my crown, and becoming the King. I wasted a lot of time…a lot. Is this the flaw in my character? In me as a person? Or is it that I was mentally ill? No, I think all this happened because I was very late in acting. I didn't act at the right time.
If it wasn’t for me, my fair Ophelia wouldn’t have died! The grief she suffered from her father’s dead (just like I didn’t from my father’s death) made her insane. I also don’t blame Laertes for being angry with me. He has every right to do so. But I know that deep down inside, he was a great person. As far as mother is concerned, no matter how heartless of a woman she was, she was still my mother. I was so angry when I saw her dying. And when Laertes told me that the evil Claudius is behind all of this, I was infuriated! Claudius deserved to be killed. So did Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. They betrayed a friendship. However, all the rest of the deaths were unnecessary.
“If thou didst ever hold me in thy heart,
Absent thee from felicity a while
And in this harsh world draw thy breath in pain
To tell my story” (283).
